Toy plane powered by hydraulic power

ABSTRACT

A toy plane includes a body made by light material such as polylone and a pressurized container is securely engaged with a groove defined in an underside of the body. The pressurized container includes a closed front end and a nozzle which connected to a rear end of the pressurized container. Water and pressurized air are received in the pressurized container. The wings and stabilizers on the body are well secured by any known method so that they do not separated from the body when the pressurized container releases the pressure to launch the plane.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a toy plane with a pressurized bottle as the power source and the pressurized bottle includes a nozzle to provide necessary thrust to the plane.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional toy plane is shown in FIG. 6 and generally includes a body which is made by a beverage bottle 4 which is connected to a soft bead 41 at the rear end of the bottle 4 and a nozzle 43 is connected to the open end of the bottle 4. The soft head 41 is on the nose of the plane. A fixed wing 44 is connected to the bottle 4 and includes a protrusion 45 on a top of the wing 44. The protrusion 45 includes a curved underside which matches the curvature of the bottle 4. At least two stabilizers 46 are connected to the rear end of the body of the plane. The bottle 4 receives water at a certain pressure so that when the plane launches, the pressure ejects the water out from the nozzle 43 and the water provides a force to lift the plane.

However, after the plane is launched, the wing 44 and/or the stabilizers 46 are easily separated from the bottle 4 and this is because the bottle 4 has a curved outer profile which can only be connected with the wing 44 and the stabilizers 46 by a limited area.

The present invention intends to provide a toy plane powered by hydraulic power and the plane includes a groove defined in an underside thereof so as to receive the pressurized container such that the plane does not separate from the pressurized container.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a toy plane that comprises a body made by light material and a groove is defined in an outer periphery of the body. A pressurized container includes a closed front end and a nozzle is connected to a rear end of the pressurized container. Water and pressurized air are received in the pressurized container. The pressurized container is securely engaged with the groove so as to generate a thrust to the launch the plane.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the toy plane of the present invention comprises a body 1 made by light material such as polylone and an elongate groove 11 is defined in an outer periphery of the body 1. In this embodiment, the groove 11 is defined in an underside of the body 1. Two wings 12 are connected on two opposite sides of the body 1 and two stabilizers 13 are connected to a rear end of the body 1.

A pressurized container 2 includes a closed front end and a nozzle 21 connected to a rear end of the pressurized container 2. Water and pressurized air are received in the pressurized container 2. The pressurized container 2 is securely engaged with the groove 11.

As shown in FIG. 5, the plane is installed on a launch device 3 which is known to people in the art and will not be described here. When the trigger of the launch device 3 is pulled, the pressurized air ejects the water from the nozzle 21 so as to launch the plane. The plane orients 45 degrees relative to the horizon and can fly for a long distance. The plane is made by polylone so that it glides for a distance.

While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
